Hi Everyone,
I'm remodeling my old house and am not a plumber. I've read on the forums and tried to make sense of the code check book. Of all the trades I've had to do during this remodel - plumbing is the hardest and I have lots of respect for the problems that plumbing professionals solve every day. I've drawn out my system and would really appreciate some feedback. Technically my area falls under UPC, but if there is an IRC compliant solution to any issues in my diagram it might work. The local inspector has been understanding with some things given how bad everything was before I started fixing things. The space is tight and the house framing is weird, so I'm doing the best I can to get everything to right.
Thank you for your help!
Joe
Walkthrough of the diagram:
1) Tub and Toilet are wet vented. Is this ok? I'd like to run the vent up the wall between the tub and toilet and right through the roof.
2) Clothes washer drain could fit in location "A" or "B", are either one of these ok?
3) There is also a vent right where the main drain marked "To Septic" drops into the septic tank
4) I haven't figured out where/if I need cleanouts other than right where the double vanity sink drains meet. This system is in the 1st floor and the pipes are accessible in the basement. Do I need cleanouts for this part of the system, or is access through the fixtures sufficient? I could fit one in right downstream of the toilet, or elsewhere if needed.
Thank you for your help!
